Time to get rid of the Human Rights Commission and all of the other self-perpetuating politically correct quangos that have lived long beyond their original purpose was largely met. Get rid of the legislation too.

Instead, what about Nicola Roxon and all of those very well paid politicians and bureaucrats help Families Minister Jenny Macklin explain how she (or they) could live on $35 a day.

'Employers always discriminate choosing the person THEY think best to do the job or to fit in with the current team. '

Never a truer word spoken Pelican. You won't find to many bible believing Christians at the ABC just like you won't find to many overt homosexuals working in Bible based schools. Top Government jobs are usually given out not on the basis of competence but often on towing the systems line.

not on the basis of competence but often on towing the systems line.
runner,
that's about the most accurate statement you have made here. The tragedy of being the disruption of much needed harmony in the community is due to these parasites. There's no accountability in the public service. It literally is destroying our society. It's playing right into the hands of the criminals.

My suspicion is that the anti-blasphemy aspect of the new draft legislation has some connection with that U-Tube video a couple of months ago and the reaction to it. It would be interesting if the Attorney General could be pressed on who influenced her to make this draft amendment, if she could give a straight answer.

I think even if the draft legislation is ammended it will still have a desired effect by it proponents to scare people off from making comments that might insult or offend.

Foyle says, "One other comment stated that Julia Gillard should be kept in a windowless room. She has very bit as much right to express her party's views as Abbott, Hockey, Robb or Turnbull and what they talk about as far as budgets and economics shows that they either don't understand money theory or they deliberately mislead. Gillard is closer to the truth on budget and money matters far more often than the four horsemen of the right".

Foyle did you deliberately misunderstand my post, or do you have some blind spot.

That statement was used to indicate why the legislation is totally flawed, & just can not work. If the giving of offence to someone is reason to be prosecuted, & locked up, Gillard could never be released, & quite a few from here, would be with her. What we could talk about in there, with out attempting to kill each other, I'm damned if I know.

"Moira and her supporters deny the social disaster of an education system that is godless. It appears she is more interested in 'rights' of minorities than the good of society. Most parents want the right to have the choice of sending their kids to be educated with godly values or secular dogma."

The study I mentioned was conducted by a competent German research group and can be found at;

Obviously runner is a believer in miracles such as virgin births, resurrections and water into wine. I accept none of that.
Secular education teaches children to look for evidence and to base their ethics on well being and social justice rather than on a book which approves murdering 'witches' (usually poor or ugly or oppressed women) or stoning naughty boys.

Indoctrinating children in old nonsense is child abuse. Teaching children to seek and analyze evidence is preparing them for the one sure chance they get at a decent and fulfilling life. People don't own their children, they have borrowed each child from that child's future.

Parents following runner's advice are the ones guilty of child abuse.
